It's been difficult to get into fun fandom things when assisting with grandparents and end of life things. they're ninety-something, but in different like stages of alertness. Lolo (dad's side) has been in and out of the hospital three times since January and every time I've been trying to prepare for it. Dad and my Tito are more stubborn because of course they want Lolo to be okay, but like... three times since January! 🥲 two weeks every time. It's hard! I'm trying to hang onto my memory of him doing daily newspaper crosswords in ink and making me read like, saintly autobiographies beyond my reading level when I was like. seven years old lol.
Lola (mom side) is older but lives with us, more alert than Lolo but more verbal about resistance and like her depression? every day my sister and I need to make sure she eats more than two bites per meal and drinks water and like, it's hard! she has a caretaker so we have help but it's definitely a struggle especially on mom, who's already taking care of a million other things (financial, inheritance, house repair shit) that I won't get into.
in the grand scheme of it all I honestly only tackle a small fraction but it's making finding joy in what I used to so hard lol. idk I just wish I still had the brain space for it!
He's passed 🥲 If it's your thing, prayers would be thoughtful! Faith and prayers were always important to him. Also doing crosswords in ink and like making me and my brothers learn to love reading because whenever we visited as little kids he always just gave us a bunch of Reader's Digest and National Geographics to keep us occupied and called it a day lol 🙏
